At the Legacy Forum 2025 organized by Hubfinance, Frédéric Jousset, Founding President of Art Explora, shared the deep conviction that guides his work, marking the successful transition from his entrepreneurial success at Webhelp to a major philanthropic commitment to art and access to culture.
Art, a Basic Necessity
Frédéric Jousset makes a powerful argument: art is not a luxury, but a vital resource for individuals and society. The interview explores Art Explora’s mission: a deep commitment to bridging the cultural divide in France and beyond. He explains how the foundation is tackling this challenge, viewing access to art as just as essential as access to education or healthcare.
The entrepreneurial approach applied to impact
From Webhelp to the foundation, the same approach to performance remains. Frédéric Jousset details the concept of the “Startup Foundation,” a unique model that merges the ambition and rigorous organization of the business world with the purpose of philanthropy. Art Explora’s success lies in this adaptation of rapid-growth mechanisms, where the sole metric is no longer profit, but social impact.
